Mumbai, Sep 1 (IANS): Actor Adhik Mehta says celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi for the first time in Mumbai has been an amazing experience.

He says: "I'm glad that I experienced the Ganpati celebration here in Mumbai. It is amazingly a different feeling here. I used to see the celebration on the news before shifting here in Mumbai. As I'm born and raised in Delhi, the festivities here are all together a surprise for me."

"I'm sure to invite my parents next year and if things go well I will try my best to welcome Bappa home. It's his blessing that after shifting here I'm able to do good shows and entertain my audience. I just wish he keeps his blessings on me and helps me to establish myself as a good actor."

Adhik, who has also been featured in shows like 'Choti Sarrdaarni' and ‘Bepanah Pyaar', says he performed puja and other rituals on the sets.

He adds: "As for the pandemic last year the festival was celebrated low key. So I was missing to see the original flavour of the Ganpati fest here. And finally I got to see this year. We celebrated the festival on our set and trust me I felt like bappa was at my home only. As the set is my next home and my co-actors are my family here."
